Photos From Pugalug’s Annual Pugoween Pug Party At PawsWay, Toronto

It’s A PUG PARTY!

Pugalug Pug Recuse‘s Annual Pugoween Halloween party at Purina Pawsway in Toronto was amazing! Thanks to all of the wonderful volunteers, staff and attendees that made this year so great. A Grumble of Party Pugs came dressed in their Halloween costumes to help support the Pug Rescue, socialize with friends and of course, show off their costumes. It was non-stop action with little pugs running everywhere.

My husband came and sat with Kilo in a quiet corner up on a bench. He was actually pretty happy watching the fun from a safe distance. He wore his Darth Vader costume for about five minutes but I didn’t want to stress him and he is happier naked in just a harness.

Pugalug’s Blanche Axton’s Bee and Bee Keeper partner costume with her pug was very creative!

Costume Contest Winner (again)

Each year this creative family always comes up with great new ideas for the Halloween costume contest. This year their adorable pug was a pirate complete with a ship and of course treasure.

About Pugalug Pug Rescue

Pugalug Pug Rescue is a registered charity that helps to bridge the gap between a pug’s past life and future. A team of dedicated volunteers work hard helping rescued pugs by providing them medical care, love, comfort, food, and companionship while they look for a forever home.

I have supported them for years and think they are a great rescue that does amazing work. If you are looking to get a pug, I urge you to do your research about the breed then consider adopting a rescue.

Cool Costumes for Pugs for Halloween

Do you like to celebrate holidays and occasions with your Pug like I do? What should your Pug be for Halloween this year? We are off to the Pugoween Fundraiser for PugALug Pug Rescue at PawsWay on Sunday with Kilo the Rescue Pug so we definitely needed some inspiration.

I am sure political costumes will be popular this year, especially in the US, and who could forget Fishstick the Pug on the red carpet as Donald Trump with his lovely bride Lottie at Woofstock filming Backseat Barkers.

Keep Your Dog Safe and Happy on Halloween

Halloween is actually very stressful for Kilo the Pug.

Kilo hates strangers coming to the door so he is crated in the basement with Kongs and chews or sits on my knee on a leash. I would never take him trick or treating as he would be terrified.

Always choose pet clothing that is safe and comfortable for your dog to wear. Make sure your dog can easily stand, sit, lie down, walk, and use the bathroom at any time while in costume. Always double check f there are things sewn onto the outfit, your pet may try to eat them and can get really sick. If your pet doesn’t like getting dressed up, don’t force him or her. Kilo the pug is not a fan of putting his paws through tight sleeves or wearing much so he often just has loose soft things or a simple bandana or collar or harness or vest instead.

Stay safe this Halloween by making sure your dog doesn’t escape or ingest anything dangerous like chocolate or candy, decorations, or costume pieces. Always contact a vet or the ASPCA Hotline immediately if they do. Halloween is the second most common time for dogs to get lost after July 4th and a common time for poisoning to occur.

Don’t leave your pet unsupervised or in a high traffic area.

I bet we see a few Blue Jays costumes in Toronto as well. Just be careful with the Halloween treats and chips LOLDo not leave snacks within reach. Kilo will steal chips and chocolates, wrapper and all.

Make sure your dog can’t get out the front door while handing out candy. Think about crating them or relaxing with them somewhere quiet.

Make sure tags are up-to-date, detailed and on.

Keep them on a leash during Halloween!

Kilo the Pug: My Workplace Photos

I have been in my forever home for 2 years now. I love company, especially my Mom’s so we are both lucky she often works from home. My Mom makes me earn my kibble, literally (she seems to think I am greedy). I basically run the place for her. One of my favorite jobs is posing for cute photos (second only to tasting recipes). I know when I see cameras or phones that I am going to get lots of treats and attention.

I thought you might enjoy some of these cute photos of me hard at work dressed for success- they always get a smile out of my Mom:

Proudly Canadian in my Canada Bow-tie.

I take my job seriously as you can see.

I like to be right next to Mom on the white couch (well it used to be white, but now it has black hairs too). I think I am her inspiration and I know I make her happy.

Meet Susan and Kilo the Pug

I am Susan Nation and this is my Pug Kilo.

Kilo and I found each other a year ago through Homeward Bound Rescue. Who could resist that little face? He had been through 4 homes in his 2 years.

I had never had a pug before. They are a very special breed. I call Kilo my velcro dog. We both love food, games, cuddling and short walks. He has a few issues but we are working through them gradually using positive training.

I started this blog to share my insights about living with Kilo the Pug, plus to share stories, pictures and videos about Kilo and other adorable pugs.
